# Excessive rain and dry periods affect the soybean harvest in the South and Central-West - Revista Cultivar

> The 2023/24 soybean harvest in southern Brazil was hit first by heavy rain that delayed sowing, then by prolonged dry spells and high temperatures. Mato Grosso yields fell to 49-52 bags per hectare from 63 the previous season, and El Niño reduced rainfall in the center-north.
